The Iconic Legacy of Panthère de Cartier
Panthère de Cartier sunglasses are a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and design. The sleek, Panther-inspired line of the frames exudes elegance and sophistication, while the lenses are crafted with the utmost precision and attention to detail.
Whilst the Cartier panther's eyes appeared in onyx and diamond on a wristwatch in 1914, the first figurative representation of the panther was on a cigarette case that Louis Cartier gifted to his lover, Jeanne Toussaint, an eccentric Belgian born model, in 1917. Toussaint was renowned in Parisian society for her wearing pajamas and a full length fur coat and was soon nicknamed La Panthère by Cartier.
Cartier was keen to harness Toussaint’s eccentric style and asked her to join the maison. After overseeing handbag production she became creative director of Cartier Jewelry and it was in this time that the figure of the panther moved away from abstract stylized designs to bolder, sculpted cats embellished with jewels that were soon adopted as the emblem for the Panthère de Cartier sunglasses and glasses line.
